Seattle Sounders FC team news
Injury concerns continue to hover over both squads. For Seattle, Albert Rusnak missed out last weekend with a hamstring issue, while Joao Paulo and Paul Arriola remain sidelined by knee troubles. Jordan Morris is nursing a sore shoulder, Stuart Hawkins is battling a quad knock, and goalkeeper Stefan Frei made his return in place of Andrew Thomas against Minnesota.
Sporting Kansas City team news
Sporting also enter shorthanded. Erik Thommy sat out with a hip injury, Manu Garcia was absent due to a quad strain, and both Logan Ndenbe and Joaquin Fernandez were unavailable with hamstring problems.
The bright spot for SKC has been Dejan Joveljic, who briefly pulled them level against Orlando with his team-leading 14th strike of the campaign. The Serbian now boasts 35 goals in MLS play since the start of 2024, second only to Lionel Messi in that span.
